Hi t,

In case you are not already aware, as you have 8 points for "Moving Around", Standard PIP Mobility, you are also entitled to a 50% reduction in Road Tax.

See just over half way down : This Page.

Under the heading : Vehicle tax reduction.

Hi t,

I am sorry to hear of the problems that your niece and her daughter are suffering !

You don't state what the "disability" that they put in for was, but on the assumption that it was DLA for a child under 16, you can request a "Late" Mandatory Reconsideration of the adverse decision up until 13 months after the date of the adverse decision notice letter.

However, you would have to show "Good Cause" for it being late. (i.e. Outside the normal one month deadline)

Failing that, they could put a fresh claim in straight away.

Any letters of support from treating HCP's, or people that know your niece's daughter and how her limitations affect her will help.

e.g. Assistants at pre-school, or teachers at school etc.

There are guides on claiming DLA for a child under 16, 4th & 5th links down : This Page.

There are also guides on requesting an MR/Appeal for DLA further down the page.

Good luck, and please keep us updated.
